このドキュメントの内容

1. Get Started

The NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and power solutions. They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package devices that use proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a smaller form factor, reduced component counts, lower cost and improved performance in powering state-of-the-art systems.

3. Configure the Hardware for Startup

To configure the hardware and workstation, complete the following procedure:

  1. With the USB cable connected to the PC and the USB port in the freedom board, apply VIN to the evaluation board.
    1. a. Provide external VIN between 2.5 V to 5.5 V on J10 (VIN) and J4 (GND). Make sure that the supply is current limited to 100 mA.
  2. Press 'Reset' on the freedom board, to ensure that board is properly recognized.
  3. If the NXPGUI application was not installed before, perform step 6 of 'Section 4.2 "Freedom board Bootloader refresh in a Windows 7 or 10 system (optional - only when the freedom board is not preprogrammed)" to install it for the first time. Open the NXPGUI application from the installation folder or from the 'Start' menu.
  4. A configuration window is displayed. Select one of the devices to load the predefined configurations, and then click 'OK.'
  5. The NXPGUI interface should open and load the main framework. Make sure to confirm if the GUI can identify the USB device properly. This is displayed by the active 'Start' button on the top-left corner of the GUI.

    Note: The USB cable should be connected for the GUI to recognize and be able to connect to the device.

  6. Click 'Start' to enable the connection to the device. The device status can be read from the bottom-left corner of the GUI.
  7. Once the device is connected, the system is ready for Hardwire, TBB or OTP operation as desired.

3.1 Additional board support

Refer to UM11360, KITPF5020FRDMEVM evaluation board user manual for additional details on the hardware configuration.

4. Install Software

4.1 Installing and Configuring Software and Tools

Download and unzip the NXP_GUI_ PR_1.0 file into any desired location. The package should contain a GUI folder and MCU folder.

4.2 Freedom Board Bootloader Refresh in a Windows 7 or 10 System (optional only when the freedom board is not preprogrammed)

  1. Press the RST push button on the freedom board and connect the USB cable into the SDA port on the freedom board. A new Bootloader device should appear on the left pane of the file explorer.
  2. Drag and drop the file 'MSD-DEBUG-FRDM-KL25Z_Pemicro_v118.SDA' from the 'MCU folder' into the Bootloader drive. Note: Make sure to allow enough time for the firmware to be saved in the Bootloader.
  3. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable into the SDA port (this time without pressing the RST push button). The PC installs a new device called 'FRDM_KL25Z'.
  4. Locate the file 'nxp-gui-fw-frdmkl25z-usb_hid-pf502x_v0.1.6.bin' from the 'MCU folder' and drag and drop the file into the FRDM_KL25Z device.
  5. Freedom board firmware is successfully loaded.
  6. Open and run the 'NXP_GUI-1.0-Setup.exe' file from the GUI folder inside the unzipped package. This installs the NXPGUI software in the system. Install it in a local destination folder.

4.3 Additional Board Support
